Ascertion Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You're in Dallas, they're probably working on your tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillowsplat Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I actually would like clarification on a related issue. I seem to remember reading that CMDA had better clarity as an overall system than GSM. But as more cell phones jumped on a CMDA tower, the radius of its usable signal would decrease. Is that true? Granted lots of work is going on but I think its just heavy traffic in the area on a maxed out system. These towers systems were constructed when 40MB hard drives were standard in PC's. Think of how much we get in emails with a hefty attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillowsplat Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 "Cell Breathing" Using that term in sentence makes you an automatic expert! I'm sure your resume would scare the crap out of me. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoctor1971 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I've been roaming off and on and frequently the past couple of weeks. Half the time I can't even get a data connection here in Huntsville, Alabama. I used to have great 3G. I wish they'd hurry up with whatever they're doing here. I use data nightly to stream music at work. I had to set my phone by the door for it to get a strong enough signal to barely get internet.
